Reclaim Your Active Life Without Surgery or Injections
Chronic back and neck pain often starts with compressed spinal discs pressing on sensitive nerves. Whether it comes from a herniated disc, sciatica, or years of wear, too many people are told to mask it with medication or head straight for surgery. Spinal decompression offers another way. It gently stretches the spine to create space, relieve nerve pressure, and let your discs heal naturally.
At Capitol Rehab of Arlington, we use the DRX-9000, an FDA-cleared device that delivers precise, computer-controlled traction to decompress the spine safely and comfortably. Paired with a full evaluation and a plan built around you, our goal isn't just short-term relief. It's restoring your spine's health so you can get back to living actively, without limitations.
FAQs
How does non-surgical spinal decompression actually work?
A computer-controlled device applies gentle, targeted traction to slowly stretch the spine. This creates negative pressure inside the disc, helping retract herniated or bulging material and drawing oxygen, fluids, and nutrients back in to promote natural healing.
What conditions can spinal decompression treat?
It helps relieve herniated and bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, spinal stenosis, facet joint syndrome, chronic back pain, and pinched nerves.
Is spinal decompression painful?
No. Most patients find it relaxing. You lie comfortably while the DRX-9000 does the work, and many feel relief building over the course of their sessions.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies by condition. Most plans run several weeks, with sessions of 20 to 30 minutes. After your assessment, we'll give you a clear, personalized timeline instead of a vague guess.
How is this different from an inversion table or regular traction?
Unlike passive stretching, the DRX-9000 uses computer-controlled traction that targets a specific disc and creates the negative pressure needed to actually pull material back and rehydrate the disc, something a table or basic traction can't do.
